I may not be able to flip an egg without breaking the yolk, but what I can do is take photos. I love the fact that photos tell stories without moving or speaking. Having the ability to capture RAW emotion while freezing time has always been a fascinating concept to me. I love people. I love collaborating with others working to obtain that singular, perfect image.

I may not make my bed in the morning, but when it comes to photography I am relentless. It is my passion.

My goal is simple, be as pragmatic and practical as possible without sacrificing one ounce of creativity.

I hope to work with you one day.
